Jamie Scott

This screen printed poster is the resolution of a personal project, where I explored the ideas of the Chaos Theory and the Butterfly Effect. I removed the word ”nothing” with a hole puncher, and then used the holes removed to create the word “something”, playing on the idea that something can come out of nothing.

I wanted to produce a calendar for 2010 that would encourage you to do something with the year, so I produced a less conventional calendar that acted as a countdown that faded as each page was torn off.

Edinburgh based graphic design agency Touch, set a brief to create a viral advert for them. I wanted to highlight that the company try to make the most out of paper, and also wanted to play on the idea of touch, by creating this stop motion animation.

20 year old Edinburgh College of Art student, Jamie Scott, moved from Peebles in the Scottish Borders to Edinburgh in 2007 to begin his foundation course, before specializing in Graphic Design the following year. He likes to work in a broad way, whether that be spending time in the print workshop or working digitally. For him the most important thing is having a concept that he can immerse himself in and have fun with; his most recent project being a personal one where he researched into the Chaos Theory and spent hours with a hole puncher. Jamie recently completed a work placement at Project in Edinburgh, and will be beginning his final year of studies later this month.
